The Enugu State Government, through the Fadama platform under the Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES) programme, has distributed 10 Power Tiller machines to the people of Okpanku and Ezinesi Oduma communities affected by flood disaster.
Governor Peter Mbah also distributed other Agro Inputs and food assistance to the communities for rapid recovery, assuring that the state government is taking proactive steps to prevent future flooding occurrences in the affected communities, as part of its commitment to protecting the lives and livelihoods of Enugu State residents.
The distribution ceremony, which recently took place at the Enugu State Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-Industrialisation, was attended by Ministry Officials, Executives of Farmers Community Associations (FCA), and the Fadama team.
Governor Mbah, represented by the Commissioner for Agriculture and Agro-Industrialisation, Hon. Patrick Ubru, noted that flood is a natural disaster, and as a responsible government, the Governor heard about the plights of the victims and gave approval for the emergency response.
